H2W Technologies

Single-axis linear stepper stages with integrated encoder and electronics package

★ By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

linear stepper

H2W now offers a revolutionary series of single-axis linear stepper stages that integrates a linear encoder into the stage to operate the linear stepper motor as a 2-phase brushless motor when coupled with an advanced motion control electronics package provided by H2W. When operated this way, the motors will tend to run cooler, as they […]

Voice coil actuator basics

★ By Danielle Collins 4 Comments

voice coil

Voice coil actuators are a type of direct drive mechanism that provides extremely precise positioning over small displacements. Like linear motors, they work on the principle of a permanent magnet field and a coil winding. When a current is applied to the coil, a force is generated. This force, known as the Lorentz force, is […]
